In 1954, the week of November 18-December 4 (now recognized in May) was declared by the United States Congress and proclaimed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower to be the first National Salvation Army Week, as a reminder to Americans to give freely of themselves.

National Salvation Army Week presents a wonderful opportunity for us to let the community know more about the work of The Salvation Army in Texarkana,” said Captain Juan Gomez, Commanding Officer of The Salvation Army.

“We want to recognize and celebrate the partners, supporters, and volunteers who make the ministry of the Army possible and invite everyone to join us as we celebrate National Salvation Army Week.”
